Make sure you have your routine down, your coping skills written up in an easily accesable spot. Continue therapy or get into some. Keep working at keeping yourself happy - 'cause it may seem like a hunky doory time to do it - but going completely off any med will have some serious head games involved... It may seem like it was a bad idea way too quickly after you're already on your way.
